"All I know is that Friday morning I got on a train with my three-and a-half year old and baggage, leaving my house in a total disarray and having hired somebody to come and pick up the papers and pack them," Ann Ginger says.

The next month, Ann Ginger checked into New York's Beth Israel Hospital as a charity patient, where her son James Fagan Ginger was born on July 19, 1954.
